The Hawaii employee who sent out a false alarm earlier this month warning of an incoming missile attack said he misheard a message played during a drill and believed a ballistic missile was actually heading for the state, according to a federal investigation.

This contradicts the explanations previously offered by Hawaii officials, who have said the Jan. 13 alert was sent because the employee hit the wrong button on a drop-down menu.

Why, doesn't really matter.
The only thing that matters is that it was wrong. You can't fix that, no matter 'why' it happened.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Two days ago the guy wasn't cooperating with the investigation.  Today they have it all wrapped up and tied a bow on it.

Bullshit.

Of course it matters.  If it’s a system problem, you find and fix it, so it doesn’t happen again and you also have the option to issue an all clear.  If it’s personnel related, you reassign or fire them.
